Project Scope
Comprehensive MEP Design Services
At Lam+Tea, we specialize in delivering Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) engineering solutions that form the backbone of every successful project. Our approach combines technical precision with seamless collaboration, ensuring systems are efficient, compliant, and tailored to your building’s needs.
Electrical Engineering
Our electrical design services provide safe, reliable, and future‑ready infrastructure. We develop complete circuiting plans for both interior and exterior lighting, coordinate with architects and lighting designers for fixture layouts, and design power distribution systems that support everything from everyday receptacles to EV chargers. We also prepare emergency load calculations, generator specifications, and single‑line diagrams, while incorporating conduit layouts for low‑voltage systems. With detailed voltage drop and short‑circuit calculations, we ensure your electrical systems are robust, efficient, and compliant.
Mechanical Engineering
We design mechanical systems that prioritize comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. Our team studies HVAC options to recommend the best solutions for your project, then provides zoning diagrams, equipment specifications, and complete air distribution layouts. From restroom and kitchen exhaust systems to diffuser design and water heater ventilation, we cover every detail. We also prepare Title 24 mechanical energy compliance calculations and forms, ensuring your project meets state energy standards while optimizing performance.
Plumbing Engineering
Our plumbing designs deliver reliability and efficiency across all utility services. We size incoming sanitary, storm, gas, and domestic water supplies, and design hot and cold‑water systems, waste and vent piping, storm drainage, and natural gas systems. We specify fixtures and equipment, provide fixture load calculations, and prepare riser diagrams for clarity. Coordination with civil and landscape teams ensures smooth integration at points of connection. While site drainage design is excluded, our plumbing scope ensures every interior and building‑level system is designed for durability and compliance.
